Kpakpabia

He is the oldest kid in the class at 17. Yes I have a grade-schooler who is only 5 years behind me and he still has another 2 years before he moves up to high school. Naturally he is a bit more of a brute when it comes to sports and he uses his physical presence to ward off any negative comments or jokes from the other students. And while he isn’t the brightest bulb in the pack, he makes up for it 10 fold with effort. He is one of those kids that you just want to do well and almost will to succeed. He is also the only male practicing Catholic in my grade. The other 3 are Muslim or Animists. He along with Pelimliwa make up a majority of my class on a daily basis even though he lives more than 10k away from the school… and it is uphill both ways.
